=Ruler=

Nibiru is currently ruled by Queen Galadriel Ziegler, a wise, powerful and very beautiful woman with both Ziegler and high elven lineage. Beneath the Queen is the Council of Visionaries, where the leaders of each House gather to discuss important matters of the realm. It is crucial to note that every member of the Council is considered equal, no matter their status, though in practice the heads of the five Greater Houses tend to overshadow the others.

=Great Houses=

The five "Greater Houses" are the five most prominent, powerful, and important Houses in Nibiru. Each one can trace their lineage back to a particular Sovereign of Gossamer and Shadow, which causes certain traits to inevitably manifest in the scions of each House, no matter how far down the family tree they are from their original progenitor. There are four traits: Progenitors (who they can trace their line back to, if the Gossamer World the other parent came from is known it is listed), Birthmarks (a physical trait that marks them as a scion of a particular House), Typical Behaviors (psychological or emotional behaviors that have a tendency to show up in the scions of the House, though they don't have to follow them), and Power Inclinations (what Powers the scions of the House are most likely to know or use due to their lineage). The five Great Houses are:
